About Me

My name is Brian and I am a full stack web developer with experience in several modern technologies. I like being part of a team where I can see my individual contributions reach a common goal. I like helping the community and enjoy taking the lead on community driven events/projects. I am currently an organizer for the UtahJS conference, and have been for the past 4 years. For the last 9 years I have been running a study group in the Salt Lake City area for people learning to code. I love being able to create things using code and find it very rewarding. I am passionate about mentoring and helping others grow.

I believe in the power of learning and storytelling, and I hope that through this blog, I can pass on information I have learned. Lately I have been on a journey to approach software development as a craft, rather than just a job. I have been reading The Software Craftsman" by Sandro Mancuso. One of the things he mentioned was blogging about the things you learn. I have not been really good at that lately so I am trying to get back into it.
